Discover MoreForest Intelligence from Space
Metsa Space Music develops advanced biodiversity monitoring systems for forests by combining satellite imagery, ecological acoustics, and biological datasets.
Our technology enables early detection of forest stress, pest outbreaks, and biodiversity shifts, helping forest managers make faster and more sustainable decisions.
Developed through collaboration with the European Space Agency under the Biodiversity Assessment Tool (BAT) project, our approach brings space technologies into everyday forest management.
Key elements of our system
Satellite-based forest monitoring
Acoustic biodiversity sensing
AI-powered ecological risk analysis
Early warning for pests and diseases
Decision support for forest managers
Monitoring Forest Ecosystems from Space
Forests are complex living systems. Climate change, invasive species, and human pressure are increasing the risks of ecosystem collapse.
Metsa Space Music provides tools that allow stakeholders to observe, understand, and protect forests in real time.
This enables science-based forest management that protects biodiversity while supporting sustainable economic activity.
Our technology allows users to:
Detect biodiversity changes before they become irreversible
Monitor forest health continuously with satellite data
Predict pest and insect outbreaks weeks in advance
Identify stressed ecosystems across large landscapes
Prioritize intervention areas for maximum conservation impact
The Biodiversity Assessment Platform
Satellite Intelligence
Using Earth observation data, we analyze vegetation dynamics, forest stress indicators, and landscape changes.
Acoustic Biodiversity Monitoring
Forests communicate through sound. By analyzing acoustic signals from insects, birds, and other species, we measure biodiversity activity and ecosystem responses.
Biological Knowledge Database
Our ecological models integrate scientific knowledge about insect populations, forest pests, and species interactions.
AI-Based Risk Analysis
Artificial intelligence identifies patterns in environmental data to detect pest outbreak risks, ecosystem stress signals, and biodiversity decline.
Biodiversity Assessment Tool (BAT)
BAT is a forest monitoring platform designed to support:
- Forest consultants
- National parks
- Governments
- Climate programs
- Carbon projects
BAT provides:
- Biodiversity risk maps
- Forest health indicators
- Pest outbreak prediction
- Ecosystem monitoring dashboards
The system transforms complex ecological data into clear decision-support tools.
Forestry Management
Support sustainable forest operations with early detection of risks.
National Parks
Monitor biodiversity dynamics and ecosystem resilience.
Climate & Carbon Programs
Improve biodiversity monitoring within carbon and climate initiatives.
Pest & Disease Prevention
Predict potential outbreaks before large-scale forest damage occurs.
"Forests are not just pixels —
they are living systems."
Space technologies allow us to observe the Earth at an unprecedented scale. By combining satellite intelligence with ecological sensing, Metsa Space Music bridges the gap between space technology and biological reality.

Metsa Space Music is a deep-tech company working at the intersection of space technology, biodiversity science, forest ecology, and artificial intelligence.
The company builds on expertise developed within Fauna Smart Technologies and ESA-supported innovation programs.
Scientific Responsibility &
Polymath Vision
In a world facing accelerating climate change and biodiversity loss, science cannot remain confined to journals and conferences. It must become infrastructure for decision-making. We are a team of polymaths — researchers, engineers, and innovators who work across disciplines to understand complex ecosystems and translate scientific insight into practical solutions.
Dr. Dragana Vukasinovic
Founder & CEOEntrepreneurial Scientist and founder of Fauna Smart Technologies ApS (Denmark) and Metsa Space Music OÜ (Estonia), operating at the intersection of science, climate, entrepreneurship, and capital for over 15 years in the Danish ecosystem.
At Metsa Space Music, we believe that translating scientific knowledge into real-world tools is not only an opportunity — it is a responsibility. This philosophy is rooted in the work of our parent company, Fauna Smart Technologies. From its foundation, Fauna has been built on the principle that scientists must step beyond academia to guide the development, application, and commercialization of technologies that address real environmental challenges.
Miguel Angel Crozzoli, MSc
Tech Lead – Audio & Visual Data DesignSpecialises in translating complex datasets into sound, offering a unique lens for analysis. He bridges data science and perceptualisation, delivering innovative methods for multi-sensory data representation.
Miguel holds an APD in Artistic Research with a focus on sonification and data harmonisation. Currently finishing a PhD on multi-display systems for big data, Miguel explores how AI and embodied cognition can reveal emergent meaning through interactive feature relations. His creative and analytical approach brings depth to our ecological data processing and enriches the multidimensional assessment of forest health.
Dr. David Susič
Audio Data & Programming LeadA versatile scientist working across diverse data formats — from images and audio to time-series. His doctoral thesis focused on detecting cardiovascular irregularities using heart sound recordings.
Dr. David Susič is a resourceful and versatile scientist whose collaborative spirit shines through his work with experts across diverse domains. He navigates both classical machine learning and cutting-edge deep learning approaches, with a deep understanding of explainable AI, algorithmic transparency, ethics, and user experience.
His curiosity led him into acoustic biology, where he contributed to pioneering projects on pollinator monitoring — capturing and analyzing the buzzing sounds of bumblebees and solitary bees, with support from National Geographic. Beyond his core research, David has contributed to epidemiological modeling during the COVID-19 pandemic and led educational initiatives in AI.
Dr. Maria Luisa Buchaillot
Remote Sensing LeadAn interdisciplinary Environmental Scientist with 7+ years of international experience across Latin America, Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa. PhD from the University of Barcelona with the Extraordinary Award for Academic Excellence.
Maria Luisa moves seamlessly between academia and applied research to bring science closer to action. She has worked to bridge geospatial innovation with local realities, developing decision-support tools that connect satellite data, ecosystem knowledge, and policy frameworks.
She conducted research in partnership with institutions such as FAO, ICBA, Syngenta, and Auburn University, focused on multi-scale, multi-sensor remote sensing for early warning systems in agriculture. She later joined the National Research Council (CNR) in Florence as a postdoctoral researcher, contributing to EU-aligned efforts in digital agriculture and climate resilience.
Calum Builder, MSc
Acoustic ResearchAPD in Artistic Research focusing on recording and exploring acoustic spaces. His work involves capturing soundscapes to understand the acoustic environment.
Calum's research contributes to developing a structural procedure for data collection and carrying out in-field tasks for this project. He will be involved part-time in the BAT project.
The Advisory Board supports the company in strategic, financial, and technological development as Metsa Space Music scales its space-enabled biodiversity intelligence platform for global forestry markets.
